TalcAnti-caking
IARC classifies cosmetic-grade talc not containing asbestos as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans); perineal talc use as Group 2A (probably carcinogenic). Johnson & Johnson voluntarily withdrew talc-based baby powder from US/Canada in 2020 and globally in 2022 after extensive litigation tied to ovarian-cancer and mesothelioma cases. The 2018 FDA contamination survey found asbestos in 9 of 52 cosmetic talc products tested. As a supplement excipient talc is a pure manufacturing convenience — no nutritional or functional benefit to the user — so the asbestos-exposure risk has no offsetting upside. Safer alternatives (silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, rice hulls) are widely available.

How to Take It
Best taken in the morning
Best absorbed on an empty stomach with vitamin C. If it upsets your gut, take it with a light meal instead.
On an empty stomach
Keep it away from coffee, tea and dairy
Space it a couple of hours from Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese and Green Tea Leaf Extract
On the label
1 capsule, 2-3 times a day with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Labels usually say “with food” because it's gentler on the stomach, not because it absorbs better. Fasted absorbs more — start there, and switch to a light meal if it bothers you.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
